Some thoughts from Michael:
"I fell in love with  the circus when I was four at Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey," said DuBois, "and became a full-time performer when I graduated from Penn State in 2004."  DuBois had his first taste of success when he won a talent show during his junior year of college.  "I knew then that I was good enough to make a career out of performing," DuBois said.  

"Most (tricks) come straight from my head, or are variations of old vaudeville tricks," DuBois said. "My favorite performer is Pee Wee Herman."  

In a career based on thrills, DuBois has had some of his own, including performing twice on Jay Leno's television programs.  "Leno was great, and a very exciting experience," DuBois said.  "I did "The Tonight Show" back in 2004, so getting to be on his new show, "The Jay Leno Show", felt great.  "The real highlight is being able to do what I love for a career," DuBois said.
